After nearly five years of blogging in this space, and seven years of writing a political blog every day, I have a bit of self-referential media news: I’ll be moving on at the end of this month.

I’ve taken an exciting job as the editor of BuzzFeed, where I’ll be trying to help build the first true social news organization – that is, an outfit built on the understanding that readers increasingly get and share their news on Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms.

I’ll be here for a few more weeks, and after that I won’t stop writing or thinking about politics. In fact I’ll continue to write once weekly for POLITICO through what is shaping up as a cycle in which the site will dominate political reporting. But I’m going to be giving up this blog, on which I’ve had enormous fun.

I'll have more time to thank all the people -- readers and correspondents, first of all -- who have made this so very fun.

And this blog will continue, and evolve, with a primary emphasis on the intersection of politics and media, and with Dylan Byers as the primary author.
